Gray whales are baleen whales. The Sperm whale is the only really big toothed whale.
Compared to a whale, a giant squid can get up to about 50 ft. long. This certainly rivals the size of a whale but when comparing the enormous size of a giant squid to a whale, consideration has to be given to the incredible length of the squid's tentacles.
Orca's are the only known natural predator of the gray whale. Groups of Orca's can easily kill a mid sized gray whale. Full grown adults are too big for even a group of Orca's to kill. But, babies are especially vulnerable. The Gray Whales give birth to their young in shallow lagoon waters. This is done to protect the newborn from predators like sharks and orcas
A blue whales tongue weight approximately 3 metric tons. The length of the skull on an average is around 19 feet and so the tongue can be around the same size. Its mouth is large enough to hold 90 metric tons of food and water.
It depends on what you're comparing it to. Compared to a dolphin Yes, it is pretty big, but compared to other whales it's somewhat small.

They don't eat fish. Gray Whales feed on benthic crustaceans that are found on the sea bed. The whale scoops up sediments from the sea floor and filters out edible particles and feeds on them. Crustaceans like Krill, small lobster, shrimp etc would form the food chain of the gray whale.
Because it is big like a whale.
Everything about the blue whale is enormous. It is the largest animal on earth, ever. A big blue whale can be 100 feet long and weigh up to 150 tons. That's as large as a Boeing jet. Its heart is as large as a small car. Fifty people could stand on its tongue. Its spout shoots up at least 30 feet when it surfaces for air.
The whale was as big as Texas.
